I think GP knows this, but I also think you know that the graph is trying to paint a particular picture, and that picture is misleading because a lot of information is missing. We are not in the midst of a financial crisis that approaches 2008, and the graph is trying to make us think something different.


Not in an ‘08 sized crisis - yet. Wait until commercial property debt finally ‘looks down’. It’s been running off the cliff for a long time already, and is in exactly the same boat as the securities that took out SVB, etc.


I know nothing of the sort.

I think someone found an interesting dataset, tried to visualize it, and thought it looked interesting. I doubt that there was any motive to the dataset other than, "Here's what I get from the FDIC, what does it look like?" Then shared code and source so that anyone else could reproduce it.

If you can find another data source that gives a fuller picture, you should. But compiling these data sources takes work. And the ones you get are all going to be a particular slice that represents some things but not others.

I did not personally find it misleading.
